Project Plan

Below is sample planning tool with topics and questions that can help you create a comprehensive project plan. A written plan will be vital in keeping you on track and organized throughout your service activity. You will most likely need to add or remove certain topics, depending on the nature of your particular project. Just remember to check and double check this again during the weeks or days leading up to and during your service activity for key pieces of information that you may have left off. You can download a form like this one or create your own.
